Mastery Problem: Statement of Cash Flows Championship Boxing, Inc.

Championship Boxing, Inc. is a small manufacturer of cardboard boxes of all sizes. You have reported for your first day of work, and the company is in an uproar. Yearly financial statements are being prepared, but a computer malfunction of the companys new BOX-9000 computer has inadvertently erased parts of the companys balance sheet, along with almost all related data except the companys statement of cash flows. The IT department is working to retrieve earlier backups, but estimates that the reconstruction of the data will take about 24 hours.

Unfortunately, financial statements are to be presented at a stockholders meeting in one hour.

Land was acquired for $326,000 cash.

12,500 shares of common stock were sold for cash during the year.

There was a $96,000 debit to Retained Earnings for cash dividends declared.
